The Megan springs advertise as giving you 2" lower all around. Here is what I had when I finished:

Front: About 1"
Rear: About 2"

FRONT:

REAR:

I'll have to let them settle a bit and see what happens. Maybe that full tank of fuel settled the rear faster :)

Well, I guess I could've done a little more research, but I couldn't beat the price on the Megan Springs ($160). After all it is an older daily driver Camry for me to tinker with...

Survey says this is pretty standard stance for the Megan Springs. I'm gonna check out some other options, maybe clamps on the front to bring it down a tad bit more.

I absolutely love the rear stance. And the Devino wheels (craigslist find) fit perfectly in the wheel wells.

Stay posted :)

Looks pretty good! How is the ride quality?

I'm still gonna monkey with the front end and see if I can get it down a bit lower.

On the highway, the ride feels pretty much like it did before. Down the little gravel road to my house, I definitely feel the potholes more than before.

Well, it was a weekend to celebrate! :)

So, I spent some time monkeying around with those lowering springs. The clamps were not a viable option due to lack of space to get them installed on the spring.

SO... I took the plunge. I cut one coil off of each front end spring. I'm a little happier with the result. But I think I'll go and hack off another 1/2 coil and see where that puts me.

Update to follow.

I'm liking it more!

So, I ended up taking another complete coil off the front springs. I like where it sits now. I'll get a photo when I get it out of the garage. I was doing some other small fixes today.

There was some minor front end damage when I picked this thing up. I did a temporary fix on the torn front bumper cover. The fender had some rippling on it. When I ran across an aftermarket fender and bumper cover for about $100 shipped on Amazon, I figured what the heck :)

I really love the pics, it's nice to see the progress that you are making.
And again, so jealous of that garage! Even Toyota flag banner!
Good job, things are looking great! Great find on Amazon too!
